Been there, Linda. And yes the shock does wear off quite quickly. Welcome!

Some good news, I think. Temperature 36.8C an hour after eating. As it generally languishes in the low 36s and sometimes in the 35s, this is a welcome change. I hope it continues to show improvement.

I'm carnivore after low-carb and, in the past, significant time wholly plant-based. I don't have and haven't got constipation on any of these. More likely to get the runs! Edited by moderator for clarity

Big pharma or mining volcanic outcrops - trust 'em? NAH.

Yes! But back up this week - HAHA! Thanks for the support! Don't worry about falling off the horse :)

If you like steak, the basic offering at Flat Iron is cheap. It's a mini-chain across London and one is just around the corner from King's Cross just past Tescos extra (turn right, cross road and then turn left at next rd). My steak arrived, well cooked to my taste with a tiny bowl of Lambs...

I've been getting the impression recently, from podcasts etc, that diabetes is preceded by insulin resistance and that that may be the fundamental issue.

@RJH2345 Just adding my twopenneth. It was only when I got a meter (just a whim as curious of effects from a low carb diet) that I realised I was intolerant to carbs. This was a complete shock... I tried fasting 5:2 - ravenously hungry and getting cravings for **** foods i didnt normally eat...

The article covers that and deals with a few scenarios. Written from the perspective of a hospital that treats conditions where steroids are a large part of treatment regime.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4112077/ It looks like those receiving Prednisolone or other steroid treatment and who start developing type-2 diabetes may need different treatment and benefit from different test regime. The main takeaways from this for me were that *Steroids can...

Hi peeps! I hope you all had a good week. Was 107.0kg now 107.5kg Ate less as wasn't hungry but didn't fast this week as it didn't feel 'right'. Yeah... slightly miffed. :D but did have to increase my prednisolone by 2.5 to 10.

Thanks

I searched the forum for the link but couldn't find it. Can anyone post it here again, please? Thanks

@miffli I started buying my veg at waitroses or at the local farm shop - before Xmas as Carny this month. Saved me a fortune as it tends not to go off so quickly especially the Cavallo Nero and Swiss Chard that comes in protective packs at the same price as Tesco.

I get pigskin (off loins of pork for chops) that my butcher gives me for free. It is about 500mm by 200mm and he scores across the surface in fine lines with a Stanley (craft) knife and a couple of times across. He leaves some fat on the underside of the skin. I cut my skin into smaller strips...

Didn't feel well yesterday so ate in the evening rather than continuing to fast -was 22 hrs anyway. Lambs kidneys, lamb stew cheese and a ton of fresh crackling. Having to take more prednisolone -I hope that perks me up. Pre-warned work I might not be in.

I've been zero carbon, carnivore this month, fasting 3 days a week. I started off eating well for the first 2 weeks but now can't face much food either. Friday will tell whether I have lost a little fat. I'm trying to get under 40% on my body-fat scales. I have overbought at the butchers for...

Roast beef, corned beef, lamb stew. Extras over and above needs this week - pigskin and 3 kidneys and 3 rounds of shin and some lamb stew. Shame to have to put it in the freezer. My appetite so far down now.

What's faff about swilling some oil around your moth while you say, have a shower.
